Manchester City striker Erling Haaland stated that the team’s dramatic immersion this season came due to a “lack of hunger” from the squad.
While City has finished the campaign in a solid form, half of the season was full of miserable performances and shock losses, including a single victory in 13 games between October and December.
Few could understand the extension of CityThe decline, which Haalaland argued, was reduced to the loss of “hunger” of a squad that has become accustomed to winning games and lifting trophies over the last few seasons.
“Of course, you can find excuses, injuries, many injuries in bad times, but in the end we have not been well enough,” said Haaland Sph.
“We have not fully had the hunger within us. I haven’t been good enough. I didn’t help the team enough. In the end, we weren’t good enough.”
Haaland’s comments were put to Manager Pep Guardiola before the crash of the Premier League on Saturday with the side of the Southampton side. The head admitted his surprise as he challenged his players to know why they had allowed their standards to fall.
“If it is a feeling for erling, players should talk to each other and ask why,” he said.
“We can do it better. We are happy with the results we have, but the situation is that we have to hold it for many months. It has been for three or four weeks.”
Haaland is one of the many players in the city who has lost an important period of the injury campaign. The Norwegian striker has not been on his side since March, but he is ready to go back to the last weeks of the season.
“I feel good and I will move well and I am ready,” he promised.
